Experience your good now! : learning to use affirmations / Louise L. Hay.
“In this delightful book, Louise L. Hay discusses the power and importance of affirmations and shows you how to apply them right now! Louise explains that when you state an affirmation, you’re really saying to your subconscious mind: ‘I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is something I can do to change.’ Within these pages, Louise discusses specific topics and concerns (health, fearful emotions, addictions, prosperity issues, love and intimacy, and more) and presents exercises that show you how to make beneficial changes to virtually every area of your life.” (from Syndetics summary)

No more silly love songs : a realist’s guide to romance / Anouchka Grose.

Leave your mind behind : the everyday practice of finding stillness amid rushing thoughts / Matthew McKay and Catharine Sutker.
“We typically have little control over our thoughts, but we often invest them with a lot of authority-even when they contradict what our experiences tell us to be true. But often we take thoughts like “I’ll never get a better job”, “I’m boring”, or “No one loves me” literally and let them trick us into avoiding the lives we really want to live. This book offers a collection of light-hearted practices readers can use to learn to observe their thoughts without getting caught up in them. These activities don’t seek to stop or control problematic thinking. Instead, they work to show readers how to observe thoughts without judgment and learn to live with the confounding and marvellous word-making, story-telling machine that is the human mind.” (from Syndetics summary)
